borg olivier is the problem and not gonzi

gonzi focused on the country's challenges in such a difficult economic scenario and represented our country in the EU in meetings related to the euro crisis.

borg olivier's job should have been to take care of the party and the electorate, and he failed miserably. and now gonzi gets the blame.

for example, can borg olivier explain whether it was his idea to set up billboards and base the last mep election campaign on the wrong voting buttons pressed by labour meps in brussels when labour could have been bombarded with quotes of jm advising us not to join eu before referendum. and the wrong strategy in the mep elections resulted in malta being represented by those people who did everything possible to stop malta from joining the eu by even withdrawing membership application. shame

and now by again chooisng the wrong strategy we are moving to hand over a country to a party who has no idea as to how a country forming part of the EU should be run. it will be run by people who served as ministers 25 years ago.

for example how does borg olivier expect those pn voters who did not vote in last mep elections to go out and vote now in the general election. the least thing the party could do is to have the prime minister or simon busuttil visit these people at home and discussing issues, but these things have still not materialised even though people have suggested this on my choice.pn and the election is round the corner. does borg olivier expect gonzi to have to phone these people on election day urging them to vote

please borg olivier either put your house in order or make way for someone capable and let gonzi concentrate on his work as pm,, he shouldn't be doing your work.

Why doesn't JPO comment about what Commissioner Dalli said last Tuesday during his video conference wherein he made various allegations (email hacking etc.) and which is reported in another section of the local media (English)?

It wouldn't even cross my mind that he considers this also as a frame up?

Seems the PN is becoming 'frame up' paranoiac!

Few can argue with the fact that PBO's performance as PN general secretary leaves too much room for improvement. He is definitely confirming it with these statements! No wonder GonziPN leave such statements to be carried out by him. As soon as the election is lost, he can be the next to be disposed of.

Philip Mizzi

Jul 19th 2012, 07:52

Why don't PBO start treating the electorate like adults and not like stupid idiots? Do you think that those that make a difference in elections (floaters) are going to believe anything politicians say? Grow up politically so that ALL the electorate grow up with you. Its about time that you (politicians) start doing that if you want to gain some credibility. It is the qualities of Gonzi, Sant and a few other mature politicians that is needed in our political area, not small talk.

"Dr Borg Olivier said that Dr Muscat had even been caught lying when he said that there were instances when Mr Cachia Caruana had tried to get into the good books of Labour protagonists. This did not result from the affidavits taken. He said it was a shame that those who made accusations against Mr Cachia Caruana did not go to yesterday’s executive meeting, where they could have been cross-examined".

Jaqaw Dr Borg Olivier rega ha xi zbal f'xi email u qieghed johlom jew?

All this political mud slinging gets the country nowhere - its all insignificant in reality.

What has really be done for the last 20 years to resolve the following problems: - Parking - zilch, the Mater Dei insufficient beds fiasco - zilch, the court delays - zilch, the corruption in the courts and suspended sentences - zilch , ADT, Mepa scandals etc - zilch, road quality - zilch, power outages - zilch. Why are there no announced plans to fix these problems,

Who cares who is at fault in these political power struggles just for these guys to cling on to their cushy jobs, and do nearly nothing on a daily basis. It seems that in Malta loyalty trumps action and competence and the public do not complain about the inaction - ultimately we get what we deserve and what our rulers can get away with.

Oh really now the secretary general has taken to staging Théâtre de l'absurde! Logical construction and argument gives way to irrational and illogical speech and he expects the nation to remain dumbly silent does he!
Get a move on and call an election if you have any democratic decency left. It is incredible that a European nation is subjected to such democratic disrespect by those intent on protecting fiefdoms. Failing to face up to the inevitable by assuming you can pull off another 'Mistra' in time is disingenuous to say the least! . Put a stop to the infantile spin and take the grown decision call an election NOW.

Joseph Muscat attended a meeting with the Chamber of Commerce. That is an amazing achievement for him.

He promised to allow businesses to work. That is an amazing innovation for the MLP, sorry, 'The Movement'.

I am not impressed.

He told the Chamber of Commerce magazine, the Commercial Courier, that Malta's economy is doing well. So why should we believe him when he says Malta's economy is precarious?

Did Muscat explain how he'll reduce bureaucracy without dismantling safeguards, processes and institutions set up to protect business and consumers?

Did he explain how he'll persuade women to take up paid employment without extending maternity leave?

Why did he promise to stick to EU rules? Should he even consider doing otherwise?

And did he explain how he plans to reduce utility bills without raising taxes?

Everyone knows what is decent for the Country, Gonzi resigns , straight away and DOES NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE NEXT ELECTIONS. Period. Maybe its time for RCC to contest, he is so good, and done so much for the country, whereby some say, he was the mind behind the Administration, maybe he stands a good chance of becoming PM? Who Knows?

First of all, I have to repeat myself by asking you once again to stop asking questions and discuss the subject by giving you input.

Secondly you are a bit naive if you did not understand the comments passed by Henry S Pace. You could have been a bit mislead as it was not exactly St. Paul's Bay that bypassing the Customs Officials occurred, but at Ghadira Bay, near what used to be called the Tunny Net. Hope you got it now (jb).

The PN is a farce. Fancy blaming the PL for what happenened. There are three PN members of parliament, not just one, disenchanted with their own government. That is the problem. The fact of the matter is that Gonzi, GonziPN and the PN have turned out to be utter failures. Time to go. Goodbye! Good riddance!

ALBERT FENECH

Jul 18th 2012, 21:57

How utterly, utterly pathetic and typical of the GonziPN. It provides a saga that dwarfs Dallas, Eastenders, Neighbours and all the William Shakespeare dramas put together and now the GonziPN General Secretary lays all the blame on Dr Joe Muscat! Edgar Allan Poe wrote the most bizarre of stories - but he is a mere beginner compared to Dr Paul Borg Olivier. Roll on the forthcoming episodes. I thought that this summer was going to be incredibly boring until Dr Gonzi & Co provided us with this Oscar-winning entertainment.

One thing that The E.U Comm John Dalli said and that all the nationalist people that still hae good faith towards there party agree that the party is being dismantled and that something must be done so if i was instead of Dr Borg Olivier i start acting now without spending more time trying to blame the Labour Party when he knows well that the problem is in the house.so please stop taking us for a ride we have minds and are well educated and we went to school and we can see that the real problem is the administration that is in power at the moment nothing more nothing less so stop insulting our intelligence Thanks .

What matters here is that the recording has been made public. Tax payers and voters are smart enough to make up their own mind when they hear it.

There is no need for hysterical and childish comments to declare that the people who exposed it are conjuring up some deed most foul, although in true Gonzi PN style, that is how they are portraying it.

What really matters here is what is being said on the recording. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.

This is reality we are hearing and it is certainly not spin. Period. Is matters not who brought this recording to the public's attention.

Lets face it. This is the age of information technology. Dictators and tyrants hate it. Democracy is thriving because of it. Freedom of expression, and the right to inform oneself is what is scaring the wits out the control freaks.

It had been coming for a long time and just as the Berlin Wall fell and more recently the Arab Spring evolved because of the power of communication & the free media, and the ability for technology to allow people in a community to share what they know.

And when the tax payers and voters are summoned to express their opinion, it will happen at the ballot box.

Reality bites. But then again, it always does. Well done to the TOM for giving the voters such a brilliant voice to express themselves to there fellow citizens in our beautiful Island Country.

Joseph Bugeja

Jul 18th 2012, 21:24

What a poor statement! Is this the best Dr Borg Olivier could come out with? It disrespects every person;s intelligence. Not even an idiot can be convinced of anything said here. No wonder politics in the PN camp are touching the bottom.
Example: He condmened Labour's implication of the late President Emeritus Guido de Marco in the attempted murder of Richard Cachia Caruana.
Labour are not implicating anything. They would have done so long ago if this recording was available. If it is authentic it does not need a university degree to get it's meaning. The words said are not an implication but a statement (whether it be true or false).
Can't this person use some words of his own instead of copying his leader? The latest buzzword is 'frame-up'. Why wasn't harsher action taken if a 'frame-up' was indeed conjured? I wouldn't just condemn someone in my own party if I imply a frame-up. I'd expel him and call in the law as well.
This is the respect shown for people's intelligence whatever their creed!!!

Labour has clearly embarked on a new type of politics - the politics of collusion and convenience.

Coming up with a statement that while the PN Executive was discussing the JPOS motion he was either there or somewhere else stinks of a kid finding excuses after breaking a glass with a ball. For heaven's sake how can one counter a claim by simply stating that the PL Leader was attending some meeting or other.

Labour cannot deny that they gave JPOS all their backing but backed out in the last minute when the mess started to stink for fear that they may suffer some unexpected damage.

X'tippretendi Dr. Paul li l-laburisti se jidhru quddiem il-PN politburo? Fuq kollox JPO daħħalhom fin-nofs u huma b'affidavit qalu li jafu.
Wara 30 sena il-PL jista juri li nbidel. Il-PN ma nbidilx. Għadkom temmnu li kull ma jsir kontrikhom huwa frame-up, kelma li TANT inqdejtu biha meta EFA kien mexxej. U dak li ġara wara l-bieb tal-istamperija m'għadux jiġri wara l-bieb tal-akwarjum.
Dr. Paul, LG ma jistax isejjaħ elezzjoni qabel żmienha għax jitlef il-maġġoranza fil-parlament. għax dan jibgħat messaġġ li saħħa parlamentari tiżboq maġġoranza pubblika. Inkella għalfejn il-PN qala' "gwerra" fl-1981?

I bet that Mr. Dalli gives the PN the creeps when he opens his mouth and that is why they try their very best to keep him busy in Brussels. Perhaps one day Mr. Dalli will give us his version of how his own frame-up was organised by GonziPN.

Let me remind PBO that the whole issue started when your leader started loosing his grip on his back-benchers who rightly so were seeing the obvious cracks in the party and needed to do something drastic about it. But, because they do not form part of the clique of evil GonziPN's hounds were quick to get at their throats.

What the PN experienced during the past 6 months must have been hell for their disillusioned supports who couldn't take what was being thrown at them by Franco Debono, JPOS and Mugliett. The only way that Dr. Gonzi tried to tackle this onslought was by applying the politics of appeasement, which in the short term had the desired effect. But, as the weeks rolled on, the problems grew bigger and bigger to such an extent that the PN lost their plot and also their cool. Joseph Muscat had warned them that the signs showed that GonziPN would implode in itself, a fact which was witnessed this very week.

And being the proper hypocrites that we know them to be, the PN put their general secretary to face the music, a move which poor Pawlu quickly obliged to.

He then said that on Thursday, 12 July - the next day - he found that his email domain had been hacked in an attempt at replicating his email traffic, and claimed the hacking originated from an IP address that was directly linked to the group fomenting anonymous attacks on him

Dear Joseph said that he carried out an internal investigation, when Jeffrey said that RCC colluded with Labour. I'm sure he investigated Karmenu Vella and Joe Mizzi.
What did Joe Mizzi tell J Muscat on the fact that he failed to investigate why a drug raid, that he himself reported, went wrong?
What did Karmenu Vella tell J Muscat on the AirMalta report that was allegedly kept secret?
A pity that Jeffrey fell for these 2 Labour MPs!!

Paul Borg Olivier on behjalf of GonziPN confirms that the ONLY hope left for them is to viciously attack the PL leader EACH DAY - as -Gonzi told Francvo Debono to do - even when Dr. Muscat would not have any connection with what is happening in gonziPN !!!

Can L.Gonzi and P. Borg Olivier explain how Dr. MUscat, for example, has influenced jesmond Mugliett and Franco Debono when they had decided to vote against the government or abstain in parliament ??

If anything, L-Gonzi and GonziPN SHOULD APOLOGIZE to the PL and Dr. Alfred Sant for the LIES which had been said about Dr. Sant and the way they MANIPULATED public opinion in the last few days before thed 2008 general election !!! SHAME ON YOU LAWRENCE GONZI. ! Learn also how to be a good loser instead of a deceiful wimnner !

In this silly season can he come up with something better?

Is this the way to raise the moral of the PN which is at its lowest ebb ever and when soap operas in its fold keep unfolding?

The PN needs a long spell in opposition in order to make a thorough soul searching exercise to reconnect with the people. It has been in power for far too long and the signs of fatigue are clearly showing! It has become totally detached from the needs of the true people.

Only in this case a new Pantomime is about to begin, one which is very old indeed, ..... Its name is , Its all About the Opposition, Its Them , Them , Them.

Its on the tongue of every delegate in the PN, that Dr. Paul Borg Olivier has dismantled the Party because of his shortcomings and total inability,

But to pin it on the opposition is just so, unbelievable. Well I think he too is following orders from the top man, ie to Attack the Opposition.

Last time someone was asked to attack the opposition was he himself attacked and beheaded.

Alfred Sant later told The Times that he had never heard of JPO's allegations before and it is evident that the allegations were not true... so Muscat was caught lying twice in the same breath. trust him in government and that is how he will lead the country
